In the end, Yvette and Xavier didn't manage to get a divorce.Both Xavier and Mark were stunned. Yvette had always been gentle. However, she was actually as fierce as a tiger that day.They only managed to get in the car with the bodyguards' protection. As they drove, there were some people following them as well. Who knew what the news would say about them this time?Yvette's eyes turned slightly red as she sat in the car. Xavier sat next to her with his hands placed on his thighs, feeling uneasy. "You sure have been through a lot in the past," he suddenly said after a long while.When she heard that, she pursed her lips and said nothing. Since he couldn't see or hear her, it felt like his heart was pierced by a knife."From what I can remember, you loved me a lot. I also…" He didn't say he loved her as well. That was because he had heard what she had said at that courthouse that day. All she had were complaints about him. It turned out that he had treated her badly in the pa
Xavier didn't allow anyone to stay in the manor, and Mark had no choice but to obey his wishes. He arranged for someone to stand guard outside so that they could go in at once if anything happened.Shannon had no time to look after Xavier because the internal conflict in Titan Corporation had become very intense. Zayden had joined forces with a few old shareholders and made the decision to call for a shareholders' meeting. They wanted to depose Xavier from his position as chairman of the board. Clifford was getting old, and even though he wanted to help, he no longer had enough strength to do so.Besides, Clifford didn't want Lane Group to continue being controlled by a blind man. Shannon was facing opposition from all sides.At 9:00 am the next day, another shocking news article was released. The title read, "Xavier Lane Goes Blind and Rejects Wife's Request for Divorce."The news report went on at length about how Xavier, who had once been one of the top big shots in the busi
Yvette had also seen the news online, but it didn't bother her. She felt that it was more important to live her own life well.Although she couldn't get divorced, now that Xavier had lost his memories, she decided to go abroad to see Viola, Noah, and Zachary.The day before she set out, she got a call from Claude. "Yvvy, Viola's been admitted to hospital." Claude sounded very serious.Yvette's chest tightened. "What happened?""The doctor says that she's suffering from issues that commonly affect the elderly, but her scans also showed a shadow in her lungs, which indicates abnormalities." Claude paused and said, "At most, she'll only make it past the New Year."There were only two more months left until the New Year.Yvette swayed and almost fell to the ground. "I'll come back at once—"Claude cut her off. "Yvvy, I can tell that Viola wants to go back to her hometown."People who left their homes would always want to return in the end. Most older people would never admit that t
Xavier kept to his word; he hadn't contacted Yvette since the two of them had left the courthouse. He didn't mention her to anyone around him, either.It was late at night, but there were no lights on in Dewberry Manor at all. Suddenly, there was a loud bang as something made of glass shattered on the floor.A bodyguard immediately tried to go in. "Mr. Lane, are you alright?""Get out!" a voice ordered coldly.The bodyguard retreated at once.Xavier stood in the dining room. His hand was bleeding from where a shard of glass had cut him. He didn't seem to feel pain as he felt around and turned on the tap and let the cold water wash over his wounded hand. Over the past few days, he hadn't just smashed things; he had also fallen down several times.Luckily, he had memorized where everything was in the house, and he wouldn't get it wrong again.When the wound finally stopped bleeding, Xavier turned off the tap and left the kitchen. He went to the living room alone and sat on the
Xavier had become even more prone to anger after losing both his sight and his memories. Apart from Yvette, he wasn't polite to anyone. When Shannon thought about his attitude toward her just now, she felt very anxious. She asked Mark, "What do you think we should do to get him to accept other people?"Mark didn't know how to answer. "Apart from dating Daphne and marrying Yvette, Mr. Lane has had no other women in his life." Xavier had always been focused more on his career. He had never cared at all about relationships and love.Shannon had completely forgotten about Daphne and only remembered her at Mark's mention of her. "Oh, right. Where is Daphne now?"Mark gulped and only answered after a moment, "She's at Tirion Asylum."…In Tirion Asylum's director's office, Daphne stood in her hospital gown. Her eyes were blank, and her hair was a mess. When she saw Shannon, fear flashed in her eyes. She thought that Shannon had come to condemn her, so she immediately started to pl
Daphne had once been his girlfriend?Xavier's brow furrowed tightly.Daphne walked toward him, one step at a time. "Xav, I saw the news, and I know that Yvvy wants to divorce you. She's always been selfish. You mustn't be sad because of her."Xavier wanted to kick her out, but after she mentioned Yvette, he couldn't help asking, "Do you know her well?""Yes. I was her schoolmate from the time we were in primary school all the way until college. I used to go to her house a lot when we were kids." Daphne didn't tell him that she had received financial aid from the Snyders.She walked over to him, sat down, and looked closely at him. There were still scars on his face where he had been cut by shards of glass during the car accident. She couldn't resist reaching out to touch him. Xavier seemed to sense it and dodged her.Daphne's hand stiffened. "Xav, let me stay and look after you, okay? I'm not like Yvette. No matter what's happened to you, I won't treat you with disdain."Daphn
Shannon had known that Jeremiah would listen to her.She got into the car and looked at Dewberry Manor, where Xavier was living. She asked Leonard, "Mr. Cook, you're the one who represented Xav in that lawsuit, aren't you?"Xavier had refused to go along with her plans of a marriage alliance with another family, and he had also refused to accept Daphne.Shannon was worried that something would eventually happen to him if he remained alone at Dewberry Manor.Therefore, she had contacted Leonard, who had been Xavier's divorce attorney. She wanted to ask him for more information about the situation."Yes," Leonard answered."I want to ask whether Yvette has any duty or responsibility to take care of Xavier in his current state." The implication in Shannon's words was clear.Leonard was a smart man, and he immediately realized what she was hinting at."Of course." He paused. "If there is a need for it, I can help Mr. Lane draft a prosecution agreement to have Ms. Snyder take care o
Leonard turned back to look at the limousine. He saw Mark get out of the car, followed by bodyguards and maids. He didn't say anything else and just got in his car and left. Viola hobbled out slowly when she heard the commotion outside. When she saw Mark and the others, she hurriedly asked, "Who are they?"Yvette didn't want her to catch a chill. "Viola, go in and get some rest. I'll tell you about it later.""Alright." Viola nodded. She walked slowly back inside, her back hunched. Yvette closed the front door before walking toward Mark and the others.When Mark saw how dilapidated the house looked on the outside, he felt trepidation on Xavier's behalf. Xavier had always led a pampered life. How could he get used to living here?Yvette walked over to them. She didn't see Xavier, so she asked Mark, "Mr. Xyrax, what's going on?""Madam Shannon told me to bring all Mr. Lane's clothes and other things over here," Mark replied. It seemed that Leonard had been telling the truth. S
